Hi Vanja,

 

To support issues with any program written by the Eyes-Free project, which
includes Talkback, please go to
http://code.google.com/p/eyes-free/issues/list.

 

I think I can fix your other problems too.  Simply go into Settings, themes
and change the theme to something like Hollow Light.  We discovered that
Tweetings is not happy with some themes.  Note, this is not specifically a
Talkback issue, but a Tweetings one, but the tweetings devs told us this is
the fix for the moment.

 

All the best

 

Steve

Subject: [access-uk] Issues with talkback and android 5

 

Hello,

 

I have recently acquired the new Moto g second generation with 4 G running
Android 5.0.2 and the latest version of talkback. Several issues don't work
as they should be working, so I wonder if anyone else has experienced this,
if there are any workarounds and if this has been already reported to
talkback devs and if not is there any other way of doing it apart from
joining the eyes free list or whatever it's called because I really would
rather not have 500 or however many e-mails a day.

 

1.       It seems like interacting with notifications from the lock screen
doesn't work anymore. I am aware that quadruple tap is what needs to be done
but this simply doesn't work.

2.       In tweetings app when I tap on a user profile talkback simply
completely crashes and only when I get out of tweetings or at least of the
user profile it returns. The whole phone becomes unresponsive while within
the user profile.

3.       Similar thing with tunein radio. When I click on the name of the
radio station, talkback just completely freezes and only tapping back, if
it's even possible, gets phone and talkback to work properly again.

I'm not sure whether the last two are bugs with the respective apps or
talkback. I did have the same issue with tunein in 4.4.4, so this may be a
tunein issues, but I certainly had no issues with tweetings on any of my
phones running 4.4.4.

 

Also is there any other alternative on Android for tunein radio? The rad.io
app seems to be relatively OK, but it seems like database of their station
is not as extensive. For example, if one searches XFM or even XFM London it
only comes up with one station being some XFM station from Germany.

 

Thanks for any potential help with these matters.
